STD Grand Rounds: Genital Dermatology

Purpose and Objectives:

During this broadcast, we reviewed some fundamental terminology and demonstrated the importance of taking a systematic, morphologic, problem-oriented approach. Participant handouts were supported by clinical case presentations and a panel discussion with leading clinicians in the field. 

After the broadcast, clinicians were able to:

1. Identify genital dermatologic pathology associated with sexually and non-sexually transmitted diseases.

2. Summarize the diagnostic approach to the patient with dermatologic disease.

3. Select the appropriate diagnostic workup and treatment for these genital dermatological conditions.

Interactivity:

Participants may submit written follow-up questions using instructions to be provided at each viewing site. Our faculty panel will review these inquiries and select up to 25 that reflect topic-related and clinical practice issues. A question-and-answer summary will then be posted on this web site and will be available via the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's faxback system.
